Texturing

Texturing in computer graphics is the process of applying images or patterns, called textures, to the surface of a 3D object to add detail and realism. It involves mapping a 2D image onto the object's shape, which can give the appearance of complex materials like wood grain, metal, or fabric without changing the object's geometry. This technique enhances visual depth and richness, making digital models look more true-to-life. Texturing is a key step in creating detailed, believable digital environments and characters in video games, movies, and simulations.
